About: Through my life, I have been a pet parent for several dogs of different ages. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their pets since a young age. Dogs from all ages are welcome including those with dietary and medical needs. I’ve made the decision to leave the banking industry after several years to pursue happiness and focus on my passions. Having a flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the care it needs from potty breaks to overnight stays. I love going for walks and hikes and would love for your pet to attend. As a house sitter, I provide specialized care for each pet, ensuring their happiness and safety at all times. My experience includes administering medication as well, if needed.
“I’m so grateful for Stephanie! I’d like to thank her on such short notice in accepting to watch Maverick. She was EXTREMELY helpful! I loved how patient and loving she was with him! Very highly recommended!!”
“Henry is amazing! My very skittish cat who normally just hides even came out to have a peek at Henry! Henry went above and beyond in his notes and care for my cat. Absolutely would recommend him to anyone. Will definitely be rebooking if needed!”
About: Hi I’m Gretchen! I’ve always loved animals and three years ago I got my own dog, the cutest Sunny. Since then I’ve cared for our dog and watched many others. At our house your dog would get at least one long walk a day (a minimum of two miles), excellent attention throughout day (I work from home) a fun home environment (lots of playing) and tons of snuggles. I have an active dog so go on at least one long walk a day and would love to bring your pup with us. I work from my home office so am around all day. I have a very friendly 3 year old Australian Shepard mix that loves to play and hang with other dogs. My 11 year old son also loves to pet dogs and give them tons of attention.
About: I am a petsmart professional bather! I work with all types of breeds and behaviors. I love getting to make your furry friend feel their best! I currently work part time, I have free time on my days off so the quick access to rover is a huge benefit! Wheather its a potty break or an overnight visit I am sure to be flexible with scheduling:) Three vital things to me are patience, tailoring to pet’s individual needs, and routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or taking them for walks and drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. With my experience working at PetSmart, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Safety is my top priority, and I would love to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“AnnMarie took care of my dog like he was her own. She went above and beyond taking care of him while I was gone on vacation. She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend AnnMarie and would repeat again if the need would arise. Thank you so much for taking care of Sunny.”
About: I’ve been taking care of different kinds of animals over the last few years. I’ve always loved meeting and getting to know other animals in my neighborhood!! I’m always free in the afternoons! I work mornings at a doggy daycare and I’m usually available by 1:30. Please let me know at least 24 hours in advance for any services. I typically use a flat leash leash, but I always make sure that the animal have as much space as they need to do what they need to do. I always try to provide some type of treat or enrichment on walks.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Much of my experience is with dogs and horses. I have taken care of all age ranges starting with puppies and foals to senior animals. I also have experience with cats, goats, pigs, and chickens having grown up in the country. I was an active 4H member and completed their Veterinary Science courses at Cornell, so I feel comfortable giving medications and any wound care your pet may require. I am a Library Director in the Hudson Valley. I set my own schedule so my hours to provide pet services are flexible. I can work with the client to provide what their pets need. I am a responsible professional who owns their own home. I will treat your pets and home like my own and understand the importance of having a reliable, responsible pet sitter.
About: In the past six years, I have gained both knowledge and experience through pet-sitting not just my own pets, but for the pets of friends and family members! I am absolutely an animal lover, and I promise to treat your pets just like my own with play, love, and affection. My number one priority will always be to ensure the safety and well-being of animals, especially the ones within my care. I’m a college student home for summer break, so I am available every day of the week to care for pets! Whether you need someone to quickly check in on your pets while you’re at work, or if you need someone to care for them during a long trip, I will always be there! I can ensure that your pets will be in good hands, so you (and they!) can enjoy a great summer! 🐾 I have experience in handling animals through both regular and electric fences so they will always be ensured to have their outdoor time! Alongside that, I also have experience in crating dogs. I’m also a very active person, so I will always be down to run around and get your pet’s exercise in. But, if they’re more into chilling, I would also love to keep them company!
“Veronica was wonderful with our two cats. I would recommend her to anyone and would use her services again anytime. It was the first time I used a sitter, and it worked out perfectly”
“Jenna has been taking care of my pups for the past month or so and I couldn’t be happier. I work in NYC, 3 days a week and am gone about 12 hours an each day. It’s so nice to have found someone I can rely on to show up and take good care of my Benji and Bailey! Thanks so much Jenna!”
“Maryline is awesome! She looked in on my two kitties for several days and like clockwork, messaged me when she arrived, which was such a relief! I stress over leaving my babies even for just a few days and it was great to see the photos that she shared, showing that they were content. She messaged about everything that she had completed (food, water, litter). Maryline is very personable and sweet and I could tell she'd be great just by seeing how kind her boys were with my cats (who really liked them and my cats don't always warm up to people right away)! I can't stress enough how good it feels to now have someone that I can count on to take care of my cats. Thank you, Maryline!!”
“Christina really came through in my time of need. She takes such great care of my Benji and Bailey and even manage to navigate my patio construction with grace and humor expressed through her daily updates. She has taken some of the best pictures of the pups too! Highly highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lauren was so sweet with my two cats, both my diabetic old man and my younger “ornery” cat. She is responsible, communicative, and most of all, caring. I would highly recommend Lauren for any pet sitting position, and I know my boys look forward to seeing her again”

This was our first time using Rover and Stephanie made it so easy to leave our pup with her! I loved the pictures and updates she left. It was so easy to communicate with her and It made us feel so much better leaving him, we will definitely be using Stephanie again!
It's a leap of faith to try a new pet sitter. I really liked Zach when we met for the meet and greet, so I booked him and hoped for the best. Turns out, I worried for nothing. He arrived on time, followed all directions and was very attentive to Sam. He did a great job and I will definitely book him again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fishkill stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
